Ring’s first smart lock can be hand-cranked when its battery dies

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center on Ring’s first smart lock and its hand-cranked way to restore power when the battery dies. Engadget and TechCrunch use the battery-dies framing most directly, while Bloomberg Technology adds the price and describes the feature as a dial to restore a dead battery. Bloomberg is also the only one to explicitly note the lock as part of Ring’s broader smart-lock debut.
